I don't actually believe this anymore. Hesitancy is a cover for those who lack the confidence to publicly affirm their anti-vaccination attitudes.

- epgui 4y agoYou don't have to guess, we have data on this. The vaccine-hesitant group is much larger than the anti-vaxx group, and the anti-vaxx group wields a very disproportionate influence on the undecided, vaccine-hesitant group, than actual real expert groups do. We know this.
- hilbert42 4y agoThe big question is why the 'undecided' are undecided and why anti-vaxx groups have such a large influence. I think we actually know the answers to these questions but we're too frightened to tackle the problem head-on.
